HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 123Benjamin Whitlock adjusted his tie and smiled at his reflection. He looked really smart and the excitement on his face made him look young again.The phone call he had with his son replayed in his head and drew a slight chuckle from him. Finally, they were making a headway. Xavier had agreed to meet with him for dinner. They would have time to discuss and at least talk about the issues that had been left unsaid for several years.Their date was still an hour away but he wanted to leave on time to beat the traffic. He couldn’t afford to be even a second late.As he drove towards the restaurant, he met a light traffic and stopped his car. He hummed a tune that was playing on the car radio as he waited for it to clear out. He glanced sideways at the car that had stopped next to his and his breath caught. Was he seeing things? Was his mind playing tricks on him? It wasn’t possible. There was no way she was here. He never even thought she was still alive.“Angel

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 124A splash of water on his face woke him up from his forced slumber. He felt a throb on his head and he shut his eyes again to calm himself.He looked towards the direction the splash had come from and saw a huge man standing there, small bowl in hand.“Wakey wakey.” He said, his voice hoarse and familiar.“Where—where am I?”“That’s not really important right now kid. What you should be worried about is where you will be if your mother doesn’t show up within the hour.”Xavier shook his head confused. His mother? What was he talking about? And who was he?“Marcus?” He called out, suddenly remembering why the voice sounded so familiar.The huge man laughed aloud and removed the face mask he wore. “I guess there’s no need for this then.”“What do you want with me? Why have you brought me here?”“Oh I don’t care about you little vermin. All I want is Angelica, and you’re my ticket to getting her, as it has always been.”“What are you talking about?” He asked, hi

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 125The sky lit up for a second, spreading a flash of light over the deep darkness of the rainy night. The sound of thunder echoed in the night sky and birds fluttered to their nests at the sound.The tires schreeched in the wet floor as the car came to a sudden halt. She parked her car away from the building, not wanting to be seen, and carrying an umbrella, she headed for the empty building where he would be waiting after the task was done.She hid in a corner and waited, not making a sound. But her mind wasn’t as silent. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest and her body shivered, not from cold due to the heavy downpour, but from the thought of what she was about to do. She had no choice. She had to do it.Aurora didn’t believe Marcus for a minute. He did t sound convincing enough on the phone when he said he would kill Angelica. He had spent his whole life searching for her and never even bothered to get married and have a family of his own because his hea

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 126 The clear blue sky was a sharp contrast to last night’s heavy downpour. It rained through the night and finally stopped just before dawn. Now there were no traces of gloom, only bright, clear skies with white lumps of cloud and happy birds flying whilst chirping loudly.Aurora slept peacefully last night. She made sure she came home and changed from her wet clothes before her husband returned. She took her time to wash herself and drown the memory of what she had just done under the warm shower.Clad in her silky nightgown, she slid into the bed and shut her eyes. Her mind refused to shut down at first. She kept doubting herself, asking if she had made the right decision to be rid of him.Surely, she had. Marcus was a lose canon and would have sooner exploded, destroying them both. It was a risk she didn’t want to take.She frowned when she realized how alone she was now. Marcus was the o my one who ever really had her back and supported her. Where was Be

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 127Xavier laid back on his chair, his mind deep in thought. Heaps of documents scattered all over his desk but he hadn’t gotten around to looking through any one of them. He couldn’t concentrate.The events of last night ran through his mind. His mother, here in New York! After so many years, what could she possibly want with him.The pain he had had to go through growing up without a mother, having no one to console him when things went wrong-as they often did back then-, having no one to pour his heart to, he grew up not having anyone like that. He didn’t need her now. And Marcus. How did he end up dead? He got up from his chair and stood by the window that overlooked the city.Who was he going to see at that deserted building? From the tickets found at the scene, he was going to flee the city using a fake identity. His plan seemed foolproof. So who killed him? Did he have any more enemies? Was it someone he was working with?A gentle tap on the door broug

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 128Clara headed for the parking lot when she saw Angelica leave. They hadn’t met but Xavier had talked about her while they were together. He had gotten drunk sometimes when his father had made him mad and In those times, he had longed for his mother. He would talk about her then and she would sit there listening to him and comforting him.She quickened her steps and stopped abruptly when she saw Scarlet call out for her.That darn woman!Getting on Angelica’s good side would be an added advantage. If she helped her patch things up with her son, she would want them together and might even help set them up. But it seemed Scarlet beat her to it.She stood behind a car, blocking her from Scarlet’s view. But she could see them clearly, and she burned with anger as she watched.“I should go talk to Aurora.” Just as she turned to leave, she saw Scarlet bump into a strange guy. She was pretty sure she had never seen that face around. But strangely, something about h

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 129Michael entered his office and sat on his chair, whirling it around and thinking to himself. He wanted to know who his father was but there was no one to ask. Marcus was dead, he would have easily gotten the information from him. It was still too early to reveal himself to his mother. He had a feeling that if his father found out who he was, he would turn him over to the police.What he had to do now was ruin Xavier like he ruined him. He wouldn’t be the one to lose again. First, he would target Scarlet. She was the most important person in his life right now and if anything happened to her, Xavier would be broken.But this new identity is so clean, I don’t want to get my hands dirty. I need someone to do the dirty work. Someone with the same motive, who wants Scarlet out of the way.He heard voices talking and followed the sound. It sounded like Clara but he couldn’t recognize the other voice.“Clara, you’re going to get yourself in trouble. You could get

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 130Xavier checked his watch again and tapped his fingers on his laps impatiently. He was running late and his company wasn’t there yet. He should be on his way to the airport by now so he wouldn’t miss his flight to China.“Who’s coming along with me?”“Someone from the marketing team.” The driver replied, afraid that he would lose his job if the culprit didn’t show up now. The boss was already impatient.Clara hurried to the parking lot on her heels, running masterfully with them. Her slender legs were still gorgeous in them even as she ran.“I’m sorry I’m late sir.” She said, entering the car and sitting beside the driver.“Clara?”Xavier was surprised. He checked with the team and knew that someone else would be accompanying him on the business trip. Why was Clara here now? He was uncomfortable and worried majorly about what Scarlet would think if she found out.“Why are you here? Where’s Ella?”“I’m sorry, she had an emergency with her kid. One of them is
